In the past, it was known as the &#8220;Cathedral Quarter.&#8221; The historic urban axes of the neighborhood, the Roman cardo and decumanus, intersect at its highest point, the former Mount T\u00e1ber, where the current Pla\u00e7a de Sant Jaume is located.<\/p>\n<p>The Gothic Quarter is made up of several distinct areas with their own unique identities: the Jewish Quarter (Call in Catalan), Sant Just i Pastor, Santa Maria del Pi, the Cathedral, Santa Anna, La Merc\u00e8, and the Palau. Each of these zones retains its individuality within the historic framework of the neighborhood.<\/p>\n<p>The term &#8220;<em>Barrio G\u00f3tico<\/em>&#8221; originated as a tourism slogan devised by Adolfo Florensa, a councilor for the Barcelona City Council, although the original concept was created by the writer Ram\u00f3n Rucabado. In 1927, Florensa identified a total of five buildings in Barcelona that could be classified as Gothic. However, Joan Rubi\u00f3, the architect of the Flamboyant Gothic bridge on Carrer del Bisbe (1928), stated that &#8220;the Gothic Quarter shouldn\u2019t be respected too much or too little because it doesn\u2019t exist,&#8221; suggesting that much of what is considered Gothic was actually a later recreation intended to attract tourism.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Gothic Quarter The Barrio G\u00f3tico (Gothic Quarter) of Barcelona is the oldest part of the city and its historical center,.","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-730","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.avcitytours.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/730","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.avcitytours.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.avcitytours.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.avcitytours.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.avcitytours.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=730"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/www.avcitytours.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/730\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":886,"href":"https:\/\/www.avcitytours.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/730\/revisions\/886"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.avcitytours.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=730"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
